Yea that has me a little skeptical, Phoenix. Bad enough all his movies lean pretty far to the left, but his accuracy is always lacking (JFK is a prime example). If you are going to make a movie like this, you need to throw all politics out the window, left and right. And try to be as accurate as possible because most people get their "facts" from movies. Not only that but the men and women who died on that tragic day deserve their story to be told the right way.

I dont really pay attention to the people associated with films. I will say if he is making a movie about Sept. 11, then it shouldnt matter, it all affected us the same way did it not? Now, accuracy is a problem. IF he is inaccurate, then I wont appreciate the movie as much.

I will not see this movie or any other about 9/11 and the events following it. It is way too early to start making movies about things we have yet to fully understand. It takes a whole lot of time for history to sort out how things are really viewed. 5 years is way too early to be making this movie. If I really want to watch amovie about 9/11, I'll just watch the real thing. But our society has deemed that footage too disturbing to watch, so we get to see Hollywood's take on the events

But Doody, wont watching movies about what happened, from a non-political view, help us to make our own views? As to society, there are websites where that footage is easily accessible.

Can't wait to see this movie. For me watching it will be a strange expierence becouse I was visiting the WTC with my father couple of years ago (in 1999).
Scene from the trailer when the big hall was collapsing was just amazing - I've sad to myself "Hey I was there"

Then I'll tell you like I told Doody, won't watching a non-biased movie about what happened help "speed along" histories views? I for one dont trust history for most things, I like to see what happened, then make my own judgements. I still dont get why we dont fully understand what happened...Planes flown by terrorists out to strike fear into our hearts crashed into the two WTC towers and over 3,000 people died either trying to get out, or trying to help people get out. Then we took the cowards to war and here we are...



OK, as far as it being an Oliver Stone movie...Newsweek did an article on it. I suggest all you who are doubtfull in its non-political aspect click on the 2nd page and read the first few words.http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/14095532/site/newsweek/

Why does everyone think it's to eraly to make a film about 9/11. I think films should've been made earlier. During WWII, folks made films about Pearl Harbor. What's the difference, Oh I know. Today's society is afriad of remebering victims that were killed by terrorist scumbags. They'ed rather say sorry to the terrorist than honor the memory of the victims from the World Trade Center, Pentagon, and Flight 93.

I plan to see the movie. 9/11 was very close to me. I had family in the World Trade Center. A Cousin of mine worked there, luckly she lived. But we didn't here from her for three days. We thought the worst had happened. She plans to see it just as much as I do.
